Check out Josh Redick's hiting around 300 and has 8 homers already. A Dwight Evans kind of an arm great fielding right fielder could he be J D Drews replacement next year. It seems he is figuring out advanced pitching pretty well as of late. The only obstacle is that Tito and the Red Sox have already crownedKalish as the prince. Josh Redick has a better arm for right field and he has more power.

Our minor leagues have some great stories developing. The whole Salem team is hiting around 350 Radriguez Butler Bentz Midlebrooks and there are others who are hiting the cover of the baseball.

any lefty that can throw 98 is always exciting, give him some time in the minors, i think we will be pleasently suprised.

And harness I remember reading that the sox always wanted him as a starter, part of the reason they put him in triple a to start the year, they were nervous he was gonna get swiped on wavers, becuase he has the potential to be a special player.

"Crawbury" is a childish name you have given to the absurd 142M Crawford signing. Some fast guy scored on a play and you want to ignore the net OBP and pretend that this is supposed to get people slobbering with you.

Harness, repeat after me, a bigger sample size than a scatback scoring a run is Varitik giving up 9 runs in his last two starts, while Salty only gave up 2 runs in his last two starts. Cause and effect is completely bogus, but suck on that for a while.

8 of Miller's walks came in his first two starts - 4 in his last two. Small sample sizes, but an encouraging trend. Bowden has also pitched very well out of the bullpen, which I thought was a bit of an unusual role for him. We can't get carried away, though - Okajima was unhittable in Pawtucket after all.

Reddick is red hot right now. For me, the big story that continues to fly under the radar is Navarro. He's not in Iglesias's league defensively, but would still be very good. Combined with a .983 OPS he's making a strong case for supplanting Iglesias as the SS of the future.
